ENERGY PRODUCTION INSTALLATION WITH SEVERAL DIESEL ENGINE CYLINDERS SUPERCHARGED BY RECIPROCATING-PISTON COMPRESSORS

摘要

A power production apparatus comprises a Diesel engine having a plurality of sequentially operating motor cylinders and a plurality of alternating air compressor cylinders. Each motor cylinder has scavenge ports connected to receive scavenging air from that compressor cylinder whose compression stroke occurs while the scavenge ports of the motor cylinder are closed. An intake capacity having a volume equal to about five times the cubic capacity of the motor cylinder is located on the air path. The apparatus may consist of a gas turbine and a multi-tandem free piston gas generator and a gas turbine; the gas generator then has a plurality of Diesel type motor cylinders whose pistons are drivably connected to compression pistons.
